All across this magnificent land, Americans have paid great respect and immense honor to our nation’s war dead. Hardy County, West Virginia, is no exception. At the Moorfield WV county courthouse, a large memorial wall pays respect and is dedicated to its citizens who were killed in battle or died during World War I (14), the Korean War (3), and Vietnam (6). All of the men were from Hardy County, WV.

The greatest number of names are those listed in the World War II section. Thirty-three men were killed between 1940 and 1945 in the most ghastly war that was ever fought on our planet. World War II was a conflict of immense global proportions that not only took the lives of so many soldiers, airmen, and sailors but also claimed the lives of so many innocent civilians.

Hardy’s Heroes is about those thirty-three brave men whose lives were sacrificed for our freedom. The author’s in-depth research keeps these brave soldiers alive in our hearts and minds now and for future generations.
